I am the first one to admit that I do have a weakness for handbags. One thing I absolutely cannot resist is cute matching mother-daughter handbags. My daughter and I own a few handbags that match, but not too many. Such things are not very easy to come by, so I made it my mission to hunt a few down for you. There are a wide variety of styles and price ranges. The toughest part is to find a style that both you and your daughter love. Although you really don't need a special occasion, getting matching handbags would be a fun gift for Mother's Day, a birthday, or Christmas.
1. Here we have the
Vera Bradley Triple Zip Hipster and
Petite Double Zip Hipster Crossbody bags. Crossbody bags are perfect for girls of any age, as well as busy moms, who need to keep their hands free in order to keep up with their busy, active lifestyles. These bags are shown in the Vera Bradley
Impressionista print, but are available in a wide range of prints and solids.
2. These are the classic looking
Kate Spade New York Cedar Street Maise Shoulder Bag and the
Maise Satchel from the same collection. These bags are timeless. If you pick the right color, you and your daughter will be carrying these handbags for many years to come. The shoulder bag comes in several classic neutral colors, while the satchel comes in the same colors plus a wide range of fun colors Kate Spade has come to be known for.
3. Whether going to the library, to the beach, or away for the weekend, this duo has the versatility to do it all. Here we have the
Vera Bradley Trimmed Vera Traveler and
Small Trimmed Vera Tote. These are shown in the Vera Bradley
Pixie Blooms print, but there is a huge assortment of prints (and even some solid colors) to choose from for this pair, making it easy to find something both you and your daughter will love.
4. My daughter and I actually own these two bags! They are the
Very Bradley Classic Navy Tote and the
Classic Navy Mini Crossbody Satchel. Both my daughter and I carry these bags without the removable shoulder straps. The tote is quite large and can hold so much, a perfect bag if you need to carry a camera insert for your D-SLR, carry all your children's hats and mittens, or just about anything else. You can see a photo of our actual bags
here.
5. These are the
LeSportsac Essential Large Weekender and
Essential Small Weekender. How perfect are these for a mother-daughter weekend getaway or just a family trip to the gym? This pair is shown in the LeSportsac
Autumn Floral Black print. I chose this print to share because it's feminine, yet neutral. There are many other designs to choose from, including gingham, fun icon prints, dots, solids, and more.
6. Here we have the
Guess Korry Dome Satchel and the
Guess Korry Mini. Both are shown in Cognac Saffiano Faux Leather, but they also come in Black. I think this is an adorable pair. The classic color and lines make these bags a wardrobe staple for both mother and daughter. My daughter and I own matching Guess coated canvas totes, and we've been extremely happy with the quality of our Guess handbags.
7. Although I don't own any Betsey Johnson handbags, my daughter owns a crossbody wallet. She just loves the girly style of Betsey Johnson's bags, so I had to include at least one pair on this list. Although the
Betsey Johnson Be Mine Pocket Dome Satchel and the
Be Mine Medium Backpack are not identical, they just go so well together. From the quilted heart pattern to the prominent grosgrain bow, these bags make the perfect set in Bone/Black.
8. I own several Coach handbags, but my daughter does not own any yet. She is still a little too young, however, if you have a teen who is ready for their first Coach bag, then here is a classic looking bag to consider. These are the
Coach Signature Bennett Satchel and the
Mini Bennett Crossbody Satchel in Brown/Black. I just love these because they truly are identical and would add a touch of sophistication to any outfit for both mother and daughter.
9. What list would be complete without Dooney & Bourke? I actually only own one Dooney & Bourke tote bag, and have watched my daughter
oooh and
aaah at a few she's seen at Macy's. I came across these floral print coated canvas bags, and just had to include them in my list. Like the Betsey Johnson bags in #7, the
Dooney & Bourke Somerset Floral Zip Satchel and
Somerset Floral Crossbody bags in Hot Pink are not identical, but coordinate so well. Such a pretty and feminine pair!
NOTE: Please check the measurements of each bag prior to making purchasing decisions. The proportions of the two bags in each pair are only estimated in the images above, and may not represent the exact scale of one bag compared to the other.
